So "the expression" matches in all.tar, but not in allaa and not in allab. Hmmm?

The expression could be partly in allaa and in allab. That's why I tried a 
different separation.

Here "the expression" matches in all.tar, but not in allaa, not in allab, and 
not in allac. Hmmm again?

For me this is confusing!
